"Every great story begins with a snake." Haruno Sakura is someone who has always lived in the shadows of those around her. Haruno Sakura is an observant person; she can tell when she's been left behind. Haruno Sakura is fed up with being overlooked and mistreated, so she makes the rational decision. She leaves. No one would care, no one would notice, no one would go after her. They would only realize how much she meant to them after she was gone. They would chase after her. But she would not stop for them. She would leave them behind just like they left her. Currently going through stages of editing, and there will inconsistent updates. I do not own Naruto, all credits to Masashi Kishimoto. I only own the plot of this story and possible OC's. :D Some art in this story may not be mine, credits to the artists.
